While the first IndyCar race of the year is still over a month away, teams are hard at work preparing for the season. On Monday, a handful of teams headed to Fontana, Calif. to test Auto Club Speedway.

Team Penske and Verizon Wireless announced Monday they have increased their partnership both on and off the track.

The multi-year agreement will see expanded use of Verizon’s wireless services across the Penske organization, with the goal of improved communication, as well as additional sponsorship opportunities within the team.

“Verizon has been a terrific partner for Team Penske and we are excited to continue to grow our relationship with them in 2014 and beyond,” said team owner Roger Penske. “Verizon’s technology and marketing activation has meant so much to Team Penske and the sport of IndyCar racing and we look forward to building on this special partnership in the future.”

The month of May is shaping up to be one of the biggest in recent memory for Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and Monday morning the track announced another exciting event would be added to the growing schedule.

Country music superstar Jason Aldean will perform in concert during Legends Day on Saturday, May 24.

“Over the last several years we have continued to add reasons for our fans to visit the Indianapolis Motor Speedway the day before the Indianapolis 500 to celebrate our current drivers and the legends of the race as part of Legends Day,” said J. Douglas Boles, IMS president.

“Adding a concert featuring an outstanding entertainer like Jason Aldean is a fantastic way for fans to cap off a day of honoring our current and past drivers and get geared up for ‘The Greatest Spectacle in Racing’ that will take place the next day.”

The wait is nearly over. Saturday night, the stars of Monster EnergySupercross will hit the dirt in Anaheim to kick off the 2014 season. All of the action can be seen live on FOX Sports 1 beginning at 10 p.m. ET.
